seems pretty obvious to me that giving the low power consumption of these cards/chips.. within six weeks or so we will see the xtx equivalent which will be two of these chips on the same card.. an 3870xt x2 or something like that..

the days of cheap top end cards aint gonna last long.. soon it will be "cheap" times two all on the same card.. he he

its just gonna go the same way as cpus have gone.. multicore..

wonder how long i will be able to resist buy the x2 version.. he he

does kinda gall me that the card i paid 375 quid for just over a year ago is now worth about 75 quid if i am lucky thow..

Well that was fast, bookmarking this thread in hopes of pictures and benchies

If you take pictures, could you take one onder the cooler where the memory sink is, to see how much room there is under. Backside of the card welcome too, as same screw hold the stock cooler and the ram & voltagereq.sink. Planning swapping stock cooler to zalman and keep the heasinks, if I get this.

Oh, I will! Based upon the facts that are out there for both cards, you can put it together.
Unfortunately, like most of us, I have to wait untill Thursday to recieve the card. You can go take a look at VR Forums.

You change cards faster than I change girlfriends. And at the same time you make money!!
I loose money with girlfriends, thats why GCs are better. LOL. I wish graphics cards could fullfill all my needs.
